[Felvtalk] Epogen and other RBC enhancing drugs....

Wondering if anyone in the group has any experience with Epogen or 
Procrit ( and other such RBC enhancing drugs typically used with Kidney 
Failure patients)....   It's appears to be quite a bit cheaper when used 
for veterinary purposes than human....   As the go to drug for anemia in 
Kidney patients it would stand to reason that it " should" work for 
Feline anemia......    There will not be the same resistance to using 
this as we encounter attempting to procure Winstrol......
